Cyberjutsu

"As novel as it is illuminating, as it looks deep into the past. . . . [McCarty] provides a remarkably comprehensive tour of his subject, which is especially impressive for such a concise work that’s well under 300 pages. In it, he covers such as topics as mapping networks and authentication, and provides unconventional tips, as well . . . A thoughtful, original, and thorough guide to cybersecurity." —Kirkus Reviews "Cyberjutsu is an innovative work that is both highly technical and very readable. . . . it’s packed with ideas, tips, and practical techniques for combating cyber threats. As such, the book is likely to prove an invaluable resource for individuals and organizations looking to improve their cybersecurity practices." —Erin Britton, San Francisco Book Review "A very well researched and clearly organized book that uses Japanese history quite cleverly to illustrate modern cybersecurity problems, suggesting ways to counter technological invaders and hackers based on techniques used to defend castles against attacks by clever and resourceful ninja." —Catherine Langrehr, IndieReader, Starred Review "Pairs modern information security methods with ancient Japanese traditions, elevating both subjects in order to elucidate elements of the former. . . . an easy resource whose reference material flows well." —Foreword Reviews   "A good quality book." —Antony Cummins, The Historical Ninjutsu Research Team   "This helpful manual explores the field of cybersecurity, providing tips, tricks, and proven methods to help companies keep online information out of the hands of hackers. . . . Combining philosophical exercises with more concrete plans of action, McCarty blends new and old, complex and simple, to craft this intricate guide." —BookLife "The exercises are of a kind that would deeply kindle readers’ interest and spur them on to intense problem-solving activity as well as hands-on experimentation in a naturally appealing manner, particularly if you grew up loving adventure/mystery stories involving castles, kings, and queens. . . . [geeks will] find it highly enjoyable and challenging!" —Raju Chacko, Reedsy "May appeal to CEOs in the same way they might turn to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War to level up their plan of attack. The book is also a good overview of cybersecurity for students and anyone considering a career in this expanding field. . . . Cyberjutsu, with its knowledge of the past and its applications for the future, is sure to inspire both cybersecurity insiders and the curious." —Joanna Poncavage, BookTrib
